- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place the quartered red potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
- Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

- Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot.
- Pour the garlic-infused butter over the potatoes and add the warmed milk.
- Use a potato masher or a fork to coarsely mash the potatoes. Leave some chunks for texture.
- Season the potatoes with salt and black pepper, adjusting to your taste preferences.
- Give the potatoes a final stir to incorporate all the ingredients evenly.
- Serve the mashed potatoes warm and enjoy!
